TORCHES released their latest EP, If the People Stare back in May, and as the band announced a lengthy national tour with Chicago, IL-based band Filigar, they released the album title track, “If the People Stare.” The song is full of gorgeous and ethereal harmony and a rather haunting melody. In some way, the track reminds me a little bit off the sadly now-defunct Scattered Trees’ gorgeous album, Sympathy which really hit a chord with me when it was released in 2011.
